? on a White 2-85 Tractor

Bobl1958 · Jan 30, 2014

I am looking at getting a super sharp White 2-85 tractor with the intentions of, among other things, pulling a 14' Case/IH hydra-swing swather. A lot of the hay will be waterways that can be a little tight and rough. Any thoughts on whether that tractor would be enough horse and weight to handle it? I think it is the same Perkins engine as the 2-105, less the turbo. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance - Bob

Shouldn't have a problem.

no experience with caseih haybine but im guessing 14fter would be a pretty good load for the white

Your going to like that combo! I pull a JD 1600A 14' with an Oliver 1655 and get along great.

I used to pull a similar swather with a nonturbo(75 horse) 706.Plenty of power,no problems.My brother used a turbo 560 on the 'same' machine.
